I'm sorry, but this movie was just a flop, even with a high profile cast. I love Lim Soo Jeong but the movie was terrible - even for a romantic comedy that tries to take advantage of Rain's appearance.
And what exactly was the ending. -

I pretty much agree. I love Lim Soo Jeong as well. I didn't enjoy the movie that much. There were some parts I enjoyed but overall was disatisfied. I was so looking forward to this movie too. Ah well, I loved all of Chan Wook-Park's other films.

I was hugely dissapointed afterwards too, i liked it up until the middle. Some of the scenes were great (not the mention hilarious and unforgettable lol). I kept waiting for the climax, then it ended, and that was it. No idea what the point of the ending was though, if anyone knows let me know

before the end, young goon asked il sun what if the lightning doesn't strike her, and il sun answered something like "let's give up hope". so i personally think it's about losing hope, hopes are not always good for us. especially when you're mentally ill, hoping to get hit by lightning and end the world.

I don
t want such an inteligent director like him to keep doing the same style of movies. it is a strange movie but thats ok!
The impression I get is that in fact we all have a weird part and we must learn how to live with it that`s how love can act -

I'm agree all ! I watched all the films of Chan-wook Park , and i loved
all films , buy i dislike this film ! I don't understand nothing ..
he thinks that he is more brilliant and try to give us an original
masterpiece ? Yes !! this film is original .. but in the bad mode of
original !!
Chan-wook Park please , you're a very good director , don't try to think
that you're genius !
Sorry for my bad english ..

Finally a little sense on this thread.This was definately a new direction for Park Chan-Wook but I think a worthwhile one.
Here's a clue to for the previous posters: just because you don't understand a film doesn't make it bad. -

You guys are pathetic. This was a brilliant film. Just because everything wasnt spelled out for you doesn't make it a bad film. It was a wonderful love story and insight into weird minds. Maybe the problem is you guys expected something else and didn't see the masterpiece you got. This was very highly refreshing and is recommended as a feel good, light hearted with serious overtones comedic romance. "Ohh its weird im scared, i dont understand" grow up

I agree with you, sir. This is a superb film. And Im reading about how bad it is by people who didnt get a clue of what is all about.
Think, people, think. Does she cares about eating? Yes, she gets upset by the rain that spoils the food. Where is the cork of the bottle? In the top of the antenna. He put it there so the lightning cannot strike her. Where is his loneliness? He is sided by the person he loves, so he is not lonely anymore. Where are the billion volts to the end of the world? The purpose of life is love and they make love. Hes her lifetime technician and she needs him beside her forever. -

I'm pretty sure they're nakedbefore he says something about "let's take off these wet socks at least" and then their socks are gone and after an exchange he says "the socks aren't the only thing wet" or something and they look at each other and it cuts away with her removing the bandage he'd put on. I'm pretty sure he was implying "hey, our clothes are wet too, let's get out of them", but I could never quite see if they were having sex after that or simply nakedI figured they were having sex and that would make sense to end it then. If they get together and make love, what else is there? I mean it's clear no one's getting better, they're insane and that's not changing so anything after that would have been sort of tacked on I think.

the end
Her diet has been sustained .Under the tent,they eat many kind of things,and she cares about foods which could get wet in the rain.So,that mean,she has been saved and changed successfully by him.
What'more,they are both released,that mean thay are not real mental disorder any longer ,even though they are still strange.She DOES find the significance of existencejust live in the world , together with him!!!

I think that one of the problems for this movie is that the people that are going to see it are fans of the singer RAIN (which are teenage girls or so I've heard) and fans of the director, which is why I have seen it twice already.
The thing is that Park Chan Wook's previous film have been darker, more violent, thrillers or flashy dramas ie. more mainstream, and the mainstream public are usually not very wellbright or open minded. When they see a film that is very complex, don't understand it or just think is too weird, alot of the time they just say that the film is crap, so I don't think theres any hope relying on the fifteen year old girls flocking to see it either.(I know it got pulled from the cinemas in Korea after a couple of weeks, word of mouth spreads fast)
I am a little dissaponted with the film too I have to say. Having seen it already I watched it a second time for some hope that everything would "click into place" (a phrase I have used alot ever since I saw Eternal Sunshine for the second time, which I think is the most beautifully poetic film ever) but nothing happened. It start off well enough but breaks down in the middle and never really recovers after that. It has a very low key ending which will not sit well with the average viewer. It just seems to lack any real spark though there are some funny moments mainly involving the apologetic patient.
I really wanted to love it but sadly for me I think it's only good enough. -

it wasn't a comedy, certainly not a romantic comedy for that matter. Y'know movies can still be good without having to conform to that western concept: everything must be classified to a Genre.
It was nowhere near as good as Oldboy but I thought it was pretty decent. I loved the overhead style during the second cyborg shooting scene.
